The Work In Progress Blog Hop

Yes, I joined another blog hop! We have to answer questions
about our Works In Progress. Join if you like and send me a link. I'll provide
it at the bottom of my post.

Okay, here we go!

What is the working title of your book?

Precinct 9

Where did the idea come from for the book?

I wanted to write an evil character, but I wanted the evil
traits to unfold throughout the story and not through concrete character
development of the villain. The more I develop the storyline, I find myself
plugging away at this concept.

What genre does your book fall under?

Suspense/Thriller

Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a
movie rendition?

Viggo Mortenson as Captain Grant Elliot and Reese Witherspoon
as the protagonist, Kelly Cooper. As for the villain, I think a good pick would
be Hugo Weaving, the dude who played Agent Smith in The Matrix Trilogy.

What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?

Sergeant
Kelly Cooper is transferred to Precinct 9, where her new boss, Captain Grant
Elliot, assigns her three cold cases which will either make her career or send
her packing.

Will your book be self-published or represented by an
agency?

I'm pretty sure it will be self-published. I'm not one to
wait around for a gold nugget.

How long did it take you to write the first draft of your
manuscript?

I'm still writing it! I have fifteen chapters written on
three separate works. How does that happen???

What other books would you compare this story to within your
genre?

The Alienist (Yeah, I wish)

Who or What inspired you to write this book?

My husband. He said he would help me with the investigations
part. After all, he is a veteran investigator who spent three years as an NCIS
agent. Woot!

What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest?

Ever wondered how people wind up missing just for
"friending" someone on some social networking site?

My Books

I checked out the audio book from the county library and I was surprised by the amount of entertainment this experience provided. The vulgarity promised in the book blurb presented itself nicely, and there was enough buggery and shagging...

I enjoyed this audio book during the last few weeks of driving to and from the office while alone in my car. There is something about this story which makes me feel good inside, and you can't quite put your finger on the source.

The author unravels a chilling story, revealing little by little the redemption of a white man. Not only does the story evolve, but so does the protagonist's outlook in life as well as the white man's physical attributes while his true i...
